Messenger for smartwatch without Android Wear - General Questions and Answers

Hello!
Recently I've bought an android smartwatch. The problem is that it has round screen and full android 4.4, not android wear. Most apps work surprisingly fine but not the messenger. Send button is outside of the screen, just doesn't fit to the screen (photo attachment). Do you know any replacements for facebook's messenger that may possibly work well with small, round screen?
Thanks in advance!

MRE logo.I want some type of notification app or wechat app support also about its specs and chipset info.

Custom watchfaces?

Hi there
I am going to be retiring my 2nd Gen Moto 360 and buying a Samsung Gear S3 in a couple of days. I've never really seen one in person because smart watches aren't really popular where I live but the pictures look good online, I also love the fact that it doesn't have the annoying flat tire that my Moto does.
I am not sure if it uses the exact same Android Wear OS as my Moto (heard Samsung has its own interface) but is there a way to install custom watchfaces from facerepo to it? I always use facerepo for all my Moto watch faces which can be imported using different applications like Watch Maker, Facer, etc. but I haven't seen any faces for the Gear S3 specifically, just the Gear Live watch.
Am I missing something? Are we stuck with the stock watch faces Samsung provides?
And what about the "custom ROMs" I see here? I'm a fan of modding and installing custom ROMs on my Android devices but I've never really seen one for a smart watch before.
Thanks for your time.
1st, the S3 is a Tizen watch, not android wear, and so will not run android apps. Including google maps and assistant.
2nd, if you have Watchmaker, there is a companion app, call appropriately, Watchmaker companion. It allows faces from facerepo to be loaded to your S3. I'm using it and it works well. the only caveat is that sometimes I have to load a face twice to have the units converted correctly.
Also, Facer has a similar companion app.
3rd, since it's a Tizen watch and not open source, I would personally stay away from custom roms until more experimentation is done (on other peoples watches) unless you want a $350 brick on your wrist or are totally OK risking that.

Question Gmail and Dual/Cloned apps notifications

Hi all.
I open this thread after reading and searching on all the WWW a solution on the notification problems the GW4 has.
I'd like this thread would be a repository of all the solutions tried and tips or workarounds to fix these issues.
Here following my direct experience
Gmail - every received email is not notified on the watch: no vibration. It's visible just the "notifications" dot on the left. Then, no one of the quick action is working. If I delete the email, the watch tells me to look at the phone, but the action is not taken.
I use Stark for other email accounts, not Gmail, and it's working perfectly.
Anyone of you has the same issue? Any fix for it?
Dual or Cloned apps - my phone is a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro and I have the cloned WhatsApp. Whenever I get a message on it, the watch doesn't do nothing, not even the notification dot. It's like this app is not "seen" by the GW4 and by the wearable app.
My former smartwatch, a Ticwatch E, was correctly receiving and notifying both WhatsApp' messages.
I tried to clone the wearable app as well, but no success. I wanted to clone also the Plug-in, but there's no option in my phone for this.
Same question: anyone else has my same problem? Is there any solution?
Please share your experiences and let's try to find out the solutions!!
Thank you in advance

For cloned apps or apps from Work Profile - you can use Tasker and AutoNotification to intercept the notification, and AutoWear to produce the new notification directly on the watch from captured data. Or buy Samsung phone - they are passing all the notifications to the watch natively (exclusive feature for sams phone + sams watch)

I honestly wanted to avoid the installation of several apps for something that should work without any problems.
The wear OS made by Samsung seems really to be too much closed to all which is not Samsung, and this is not nice...

It's not a Samsung - it's a Google. Android is separating normal and work profiles as much as possible, as technically you have two separate users and they shouldn't mix. On own phones Samsung just have a backdoor for that embedded into the ROM.

It's strange because, as I wrote in 1st post, before I was using a Ticwatch connected to the phone via the Google's Wear OS app and everything was working smoothly.
Samsung doesn't allow to connect the GW4 via Wear OS app, but just its Wearable app.
In Wear OS app I was able to see WhatsApp as 2 different apps, the native and the cloned. In Samsung app just the native.
Is there any way to make cloned WhatsApp "visible" to wearable app?
I see one commenter on Sammobile says the latest update (DUJA) fixes Gmail notifications!

[HOW TO] Fix Fossil GEN 6 pairing issue (Wear OS - An error occured...)

Hi,
I got a Fossil Gen.6 Smartwatch and struggled a lot to pair it with my Oneplus 8 Pro (OOS12 + UB + Root). Staying on the setup screen on the watch is very frustrating, and hopefully, i found a workaround.
I browsed the web a lot and have seen this fix only once, so i intend to share it widely to raise awareness. I also posted it on Oneplus Community forums.
Issue :
At first boot, the watch asks to download Wear OS by Google on a phone. In my case, if i download Wear OS from the Play Store, the app keeps saying "An error occured while finding devices" and i can't setup the Watch. Is the watch shy ? Why won't she come up to the phone ?? Is my phone wrong ? Did i get a defective watch out of factory ?? Many questions the google help page won't answer... You can read the Google troubleshooting guide on your phone but none of these tips work (to me)...
Fix :
Just uninstall Wear OS from your phone, and install this one from here or use the apk attached
Virustotal check here
It seems using Wear OS 2.0.0, (Android Wear at the time), works slightly better !
Before the setup with Android Wear, don't forget to factory reset / unpair the Watch if you connected it to another phone before (for me it worked on a P30 Lite but i don't own the device..). Once the setup is done and you have access to the watch, you can update Android Wear to Wear OS though Play Store
I have no clue if it's phone related, android OS version related, app permission related but this may work on other smartwatch too.
Creds to a redditor on an old thread
Cheers
